The DeVry University Chicago campus, 3300 N. Campbell Ave., is proposing new zoning that will allow the for-profit college to add up to 169,000 square feet and 973 parking spaces,according to documents filed with the Chicago City Council Zoning Committee. The committee takes up the proposed zoning change this Thursday morning.

The project, across from Clark Park and behind the 20th District Chicago Police station, will initially only be one two-story building, but the submitted plans include outlines of a second building in the space.
